Clean Eating Citrus Grilled Chicken Recipe

Today, I have a clean eating citrus grilled chicken recipe for you. I chose this recipe because of it’s easy-to-find ingredients as well as the fact that the weather is getting quite nice here and it’s definitely time to pull out the grill! But don’t worry, if you don’t have a grill, you can do this in a pan as well. Give it a try!

As many of you know, I have teamed up with eMeals to introduce you to their fantastic meal planning service for both clean eating and paleo meal plans (and many more)! As a result, I have permission to occasionally blog about the recipes I receive in their meal plans. So far, I haven’t been disappointed. The meals are uncomplicated and always delicious.

Disclosure: I receive a portion of all sales on eMeals subscriptions if you purchase a subscription via the link in this post. This money pays for keeping this blog running as well as for buying food to create the recipes you find here.

NOTE: The recipe doesn't call for using the rest of the lime. But if you enjoy a lime flavor on your chicken, squeeze the juice over the chicken while it's cooking. Delish! Also, if you don't have a bowl wide enough so the chicken can evenly marinate, just pour everything into a large ziplock bag and let it sit in that. (That's what I did!)

Made this last night. It was really good but sour due to the lime. Next time I don’t think I would squeeze the lime juice over the chicken while its cooking; at least not as much as I did. Other than that, a really great recipe that I will definitely make again!

I made these and they were great. But thanks to the weather I can’t grill a whole bag outside yet. If I wanted to bake them in the oven, how long would you grill say six breasts at once? Thanks for your help.

Cheers from Singapore! I stumbled across your blog recently, thanks to my new-found love for clean eating. Made this citrus chicken last night and loved it 🙂 We Asians love spicy food, so it was a little out of my comfort zone, but tasty nonetheless. I’d like to try baking the french toast casserole this weekend, looking forward to it! Thanks for this fantastic blog and your delish recipes!

I tried this recipe today and it was perfect! I used skinless chicken breast tenderloins instead and used lemon instead of lime. I actually squeezed the lemon in the marinade and the flavors were well balanced! Clean eating doesn’t mean tasteless food and this recipe clearly showcased that. With the use of your website, there may be hope for me after all lol thank you 🙂

I’m new to clean eating and this was the first recipe I tried. I added some chipotle seasoning to add a little spice! I was concerned my husband wouldn’t be on board with clean eating, but he loved it! Thanks, Tiffany!

Johnine – Glad you enjoyed it! I don’t figure data for eMeals recipes, so you would have to enter the recipe into a nutrition calculator online. I usually use MyFitnessPal.com, but there are many others.
